On Monday the Financial Times reported that the European Commission was planning a review of the hedge fund industry to see whether new regulation was needed.
International regulators were due to meet industry leaders in New York to discuss the risks of hedge fund collapse.
The sector has grown dramatically worldwide in recent years, with global assets almost doubling in the past two years to £821 billion.
But last month hedge funds recorded the worst returns since 1998, according to trade magazine Eurohedge, in the wake of volatile stock markets.
From the start of this year Jersey has been seeking to attract niche funds firms who could benefit from setting up their headquarters here.
Two London firms, Altis Partners and VHC International, have already moved here and two more are planning to do so.
David Carse, the director general of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, said: ‘Obviously there has been a certain amount of media comment, really on the back of fluctuations in the markets during the course of this year which have not been helpful to hedge funds, especially movements in the price of bonds and equities.
‘What we are doing is monitoring what is going on.
We recently had a meeting with fund managers operating in Jersey and they are not aware of any problem at the moment, but we will be maintaining a watching brief.
